“When they came to me with the show, I thought what better partner for this than Dean?” Glanville shares. “Duh, right?”

“Partners in crime,” Sheremet adds. “Kitchen crime.”

The Fox series finds stars, including Lance Bass and his mother, and Brandy Norwood and her brother, Ray J, teaming up to out-cook each other at dinner parties. It premieres Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET.

“You have two alphas in the kitchen together, so we were competitive not with everyone else, but ourselves as well, which was interesting to say the least,” Sheremet confesses.

“He thought he was the boss of me, and nobody is the boss of me,” Glanville jokes about their partnership.
